</div></div>Yep, Wayland-fits was designed with the intention of testing multiple<br>
Wayland compositor implementations. It currently only supports the<br>
Weston compositor atm. In addition, there are several "generic" (or<br>
core, if you will) protocol tests and quite a few EFL/Elementary-based<br>
tests. Adding support for additional Wayland compositors should be<br>
relatively easy, though. <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yep, it is not hard. Some time ago I wrote plugin for mutter that implements wayland-fits protocol (<a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730179">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730179</a>). I needed to write it as a plugin for mutter instead of extension in wayland-fits, because mutter does not export all what is needed for that. Anyway, it worked - but it has been a while, so I don't know if it is still mergable (and working).<br></div><br></div></div></div>
